Sonos HD Radio

It isn’t showing that, which is why you’re offered a free trial if you tap through. It’s simply a link, in case you’re interested in pursuing it.

I don't have a subscription, but it's there in black and white, claiming that I have a subscription to Sonos Radio HD! Really poor sales skills from Sonos, fooling people into clicking on the free trial link.

Personally I don’t think anyone’s fooled. 

I know I don't have a subscription, but it is misleading, probably purposely so, designed for non-subscribers to think "WTF! Did I accidentally sign up for a subscription?"

It should show "INACTIVE" or "Click here for free trial offer", instead of suggesting that I have a subscription.  A lame marketing scam.

I completely agree with @ratty ...there is a process of signing up, manually entering monthly payment details etc. No one is being fooled at all - the choice is all down to the user.

I personally chose to sign-up entirely of my own accord and the family are enjoying the high quality service. It is a simple method to cancel the subscription too within the users online Sonos account under the separate subscriptions tab. 

Maybe change the heading to read ‘Available Subscriptions’ but where, or how, on earth is this a ‘scam’? - I think you’re just looking to argue a point. It is not forcing anyone to subscribe, you’re just interpreting the screen to bring forward a ‘minor’ matter, as being something much more than it is. It certainly is not a scam to make anyone sign up for the new Sonos service.

Whilst I wouldn't go as far as saying this is a scam I do find the in-app promotion of this pretty annoying, I'd be more tolerant of it on a free or low cost item but it's not something I'd expect to see on a more premium product.

 I've looked without luck but is there a setting to turn off this kind of messaging?

Are you referring to additional data in the privacy settings?

I've disabled that long ago if so.
